Crazy Mike's:
The top ten iPhone app Stick Skater by Traction Games is going to increase the “poser” population by a lot. Why? Because even I can successfully skateboard with this iPhone app. This game is fun and very easy to pick up. This app costs $0.99 and receives 5 out of 5 CrazyMikes Head’s for great skateboard iPhone app.
Jared Brewer from The Appera: Stick Skater is an excellent skating game, wrapped in stick-style graphics - a type of graphics that I have sorely missed on the iPhone.
AppAdvice: Stick Skater provides the simple side scrolling casual endless fun or Run! or Canabalt, but intertwined skateboarding to the mold. Instead of tapping to jump over or break through obstacles you are laying down intricate tricks to get past obstacles.
Kotaku writes: "Stick Skater has been grinding its way to the top of the iTunes App charts. Surely, there must be a reason for it. Let's see if there is!
Stick Skater is a barebones skating game. Its stick man skater grinds on rails and hops over obstacles like lights, sand, staircases and trash cans. In its basic control set-up there are two control options: "Basic Tricks Mode" and "Advanced Tricks Mode". Basic Tricks Mode has two buttons: "Push" to move forward and "Trick" to jump and do tricks. In the advanced mode, "Trick" is switched out with a virtual joystick "Swipe". The core game mechanic is timing and reacting to obstacles".
